Women’s Embodiment & Eros Retreat

Discipline of Pleasure

8-13 January 2027
Ubud, Bali, Indonesia

Do you feel there is more pleasure, more sensuality, more aliveness available in your body than you are currently experiencing?

There is.

When you reconnect with the wisdom of your body and full erotic aliveness:

You get to experience more pleasure in all areas of life.
You attract aligned relationships.
You open to receiving more love.
You become magnetic.

This is where the discipline of pleasure becomes essential.

Not as control or restriction, but as the ability to commit to yourself — to remain connected as sensation deepens, as energy builds, as your experience becomes more intense and more alive.

A different relationship with your body and your eros

You feel that there is more to erotic energy than what you’ve been shown…

You already recognise sexual energy as something powerful, intelligent and sacred…

You’ve been drawn to tantra, Shibari, and conscious intimacy, and prefer spaces that are elevated, intentional, and deeply held …

Then this is for you.

You can come alone or as a couple - and enjoy this life-changing, intimacy-changing 5-night journey. A space to learn the skills that transform how you relate — to your body, your energy, and the way you connect with others

THE EXPERIENCE:

Embodied Devotion is a five-day immersion into intimacy as a practice. You will learn how to work with your breath, presence, ropes and your energy in a way that creates embodied change in how you experience connection, pleasure, and sensuality.

Apply only if you are ready to

  • Learn how to surrender into your body, your pleasure, and your deepest desires.

  • Feel safe to let go completely—held, witnessed, and adored.

  • Release control and open to deeper states of trust, pleasure, and intimacy.

  • Expand your capacity for pleasure, intimacy, and erotic presence.

  • Meet new desires and parts of yourself with curiosity and honesty.

  • Deepen intimacy with your partner (or with yourself if you come alone) through shared experiences that build trust and devotion.

  • Learn embodied practices that continue to nourish your relationship beyond the retreat.

  • Spend five uninterrupted days together — away from roles, routines, and distractions.

  • Return feeling connected, resourced, and with exciting new intimacy skills.

Couples,

Expect a space to practice surrender in intimacy and reignite the dynamics of polarity in your relationship.

Solos,

Expect a sensual and playful journey into surrender with likeminded people —a chance to explore power, pleasure, and connection in a conscious, luxurious space.

  • "Connecting with others who are sharing the sacred space. The workshops were so enlightening, informative, and healing. Every moment was truly a gift."

    A woman from Chicago

  • "The women’s workshop, the tantric massage, the pressure points, the immersive kink evening and the temple night. (Basically everything) but receiving a tantric massage was the most intense experience of my life"

    A woman from London

  • "This experience completely changed the way I feel about the sex."

    A man from New York

  • "We attend a lot of retreats, so we can truly appreciate one that is done exceptionally well — with precision, flow, rhythm, and beauty."

    A couple from Virginia

  • “It was perfect. Witnessing the temple. Being tied up. Being held when I felt moved by the presence of the divine. The poetry on opening night, the dance, the opening circle, the closing circle, and the dinners.”

Your guides

  • Marie Sauvage

    Marie Sauvage is a one of the world’s leading Shibari artists. Over the years, her work has evolved into a ritual of mindfulness, subverting traditional power dynamics and making rope art more accessible, especially to women. Her performances emphasize intimacy, trust, and connection rather than the dominant themes of SM culture. For Marie, shibari is both an artistic expression and a collective ritual, reminding people to embrace emotion, pleasure, and deep human connection.

  • Mariya Grinina

    Mariya is the founder of Feel, a transformational somatic coach, and a tantric love facilitator. She creates immersive experiences that awaken the body and sexual energy, deepen connection to themselves and others, and return to erotic innocence. Her work brings together tantric principles and practices, embodiment, somatic trauma release and integration, and personal development, offering a space where intimacy becomes a path of awareness and spiritual connection, rather than performance.

  • Pauline Marie-Antoinette

    Pauline is a poet, performer, experience creator, and workshop facilitator. She believes in the transformative power of art and creativity as profound vehicles for change. Through liberating inner journeys, creative ateliers, and sensuality workshops, she invites participants to deepen their intimacy and explore kinks & role-play.
